# Power Focus vs Pomu

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pomu at none against Power Focus's 3. Pomu also leads on ads (none vs shown). Power Focus's advantage is ratings volume (457 vs 6) and review sentiment (66% vs 56%). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Power Focus sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Pomu asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Power Focus against 4.7 for Pomu. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Power Focus has 457 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 66% of Power Focus's written reviews are positive against 56% of Pomu's.
